S5 turbo fender different than S5 n/a fender?

What are the difference between the s5 turbo and the s5 n/a fenders. Does anyone have pics of a s5 front bumper on a s4.

What im trying to do is get a s5 bumper on a s4. And ive searched and found out that the s5 bumper trim and the s4 fender trim are at different heights. So will s5 fender trim meet up with a s4 door trim.

S5 NA fenders have a separate moulding. S5 turbos have that piece of moulding integrated into the stock sideskirts.

The trim will line up but the groove is in the middle of the s4 trim and at the bottom of the s5 trim... the only way you can mix these two different moldings, and have them look decent (to anyone who doesnt know rx-7s) is to separate the different trims with a large gap, such as the wheel wells... and I'm not sure if even that will fool anyone... I believe all the fender metal is the same, the trim is different between s4 and s5 but I dont belive its different between turbo and NA... someone correct me if I'm wrong...

So if I where to get s5 side moldings and put them on my s4 fenders and doors they will all line up to the front and rear bumper?

basically will all this below line up and look good on an s4, and if any of you have pics of this, that would be great.

s5 bumper
s5 sidetrim (all the way back)
s5 rear bumper

They will all line up if you have the same series for all the trim... The trim is in the same place on the fender and body, just the groove is in a different spot. Here is a pic with both the S4 and the s5 trim on one s4 fender... it doesnt look that bad from 10ft or so.
